River Metals Recycling (RMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The David J. Joseph Company (DJJ), has finalized the acquisition of the metal recycling assets of Columbus Recycling in Ashland, Kentucky, Charleston, West Virginia, and Coeburn, Virginia. Columbus Recycling retains ownership and will continue to operate its nine other facilities in Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.
RMR operates 14 locations in Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois and Alabama including automobile shredders in Newport and Louisville, Kentucky. The addition of these new locations, including a shredding operation in Ashland, is consistent with RMR’s growth strategy and demonstrates DJJ’s commitment to expanding its regional recycling platforms.
